Abstract:  

 Tourism in Montenegro represents one of the key economic sectors, but it increasingly requires the application of innovative technologies that enable sustainable development, minimize negative ecological impacts, and ensure efficient spatial planning. National parks and protected areas are key resources for the development of ecologically responsible tourism, with technology and innovation being essential for their preservation and enhancement. This paper explores strategies and models of sustainable development, including the concept of carrying capacity, zoning, permitting, and visitor management, as well as the application of smart technologies in monitoring the impact of tourism on the environment. Special emphasis is placed on digitalization, the use of artificial intelligence, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for monitoring climate change and sustainable planning of tourist destinations. The results highlight the need for integrating technological solutions into sustainable tourism strategies to ensure long-term protection of natural resources, stimulate economic development, and preserve biodiversity.

 

Keywords: sustainable tourism, innovation, climate change, national parks, spatial planning, technology.
